Amount of grants awarded

In Indiana, the State Energy Office utilized SEP funding to help companies identify and make energy efficiency upgrades. The Indiana Conserving Hoosier Industrial Power (CHIP) program provided $2.2 million in grants to commercial or industrial facilities. Eleven companies in Indiana were selected, through a competitive process to receive grants ranging from $52,000 to $400,000. In order to be considered for a CHIP grant, the proposed project had to be located in Indiana, and demonstrate measurable improvements in energy efficiency, result in a reduction in energy demand, or implement an energy recycling process.
